the words from the white house from the south korean delegation that met with the north korean leaderoul now and speak to laura bicker. the south still technically at war. how is this being received? cautiously but there is an element of, oh, my goodness. when i tweeted the announcement i said, wow. we thought it would go forward in baby steps but it is going forward in huge leaves. not only is president trump accepted the invitation to meet kim jong—un kim jong—un trump accepted the invitation to meet kimjong—un kimjong—un but he will meet in high may. the rebels are obvious. it could well be that this is a genuine opportunity to speak to north korea, to try to get rid of nuclear weapons on this pinion trial. —— peninsular. the us president will meet the leader of north korea and it is a first. it is a huge pr. he will believe his maximum policy is working. the people in seoul, the ministers who have been deftly and dramatically negotiating these two sides to the table also. it could also be that kim jong—un sees it as a propaganda win. he is incredibly savvy. those army of beauties,

again, coming to us from south korean officials.s invite was orchestrated by the south koreans and they would like to see the president and kim jong-un sit down together with them. they also said that kim jong-un has expressed eagerness to do this and that he is fully committed to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. joining me right now, washington times opinion editor and fox business contributor charlie hurt. wow, charlie. a big development here. hopefully a good one for the safety of the world. >> oh, absolutely. i really don't believe a word that comes out of kim jong-un's mouth, but this development is certainly better than the development not coming forward. so i think cautious optimism is probably a good thing. but the thing that really stands out to me, sitting there listening to the south korean statement today at the white house, is my gosh, what a terrible eight years we had under barack obama where there was not this engagement, there was not this attempt -- they were not taking the regime seriously enough. the

yet not even the into korean summit which i think is a much firmer thing we have the south koreans would for both print leader has agreed to step across the military demarcation line in the south and so on and now once again it's the most bizarre breach of protocol to have the south koreans a foreign government a close ally of the u.s. on the white house floor late at night with no americans in sight and not this thing is happening. it's all a bit weird we would go so far as to say i'm not sure that the trump kim jong un meeting will ever happen i don't know if my panelists agree there say what he has to to cross since that it's let's let's wait and see but yes we have a fingers crossed springs eternal missa one it's i mean how significant is this development do you think it is also saying because sanctions are paying off or as others say just because kim jong il is trying to showcase that he is gentle with those beasts. there are other factors that come into play at the moment we can't tell which are the most important so you mentioned sanctions you mentioned the public diplomacy effort

of a tokyo high school aligned to the north korean regime. i always have this fear that of people's freedom and movement will be restricted and. right now. many of these school children are descendants of koreans brought here as prisoners or slave labor during world war two. when korea's subleasing too many in japan's korean community pledged allegiance to the north. as a result their schools and businesses have always been viewed with suspicion. or. whenever there's an excuse the police use all sorts of nonsensical reasons to come in search of schools in raids welfare for. voting for him and if we go to all our community may face a soviet crisis i. am. not. under the watchful eyes of north korea's latest students here learn in both korean and japanese every year the regime gives two million dollars to a network of kinda got schools and universities across japan and it's. mother the most important thing we teach the students is that they can contribute to reunite korea for one more grandmother or so but you're not the. program or here in our

, that your allies, the south koreans, that you are planning to do that and the south koreans would not so gently find out that the 20 million within range of north korean at uri would suggest they better get those people to safety and sat it becomes a bit ofa to safety and sat it becomes a bit of a nonstarter but one had the sense that president trump was prepared to give it a go and this kind of thing is a very, very different kind of president. most people are not comfortable with that but there are people who are. people are not comfortable with that but there are people who arem 2009, north korean is pulled out of the talks. we talk about caution here but is that possible seeing we are at this stage and having these conversations. could it go wrong ain? conversations. could it go wrong again? absolutely. if i was las vegas, aura london odds maker, i would still have it on that side of the ledger. even a brutal dictatorships have politics and a lot of people in north korea think this nuclear programme is an excellent thing or north korea to be pursuing so if he's really intending to

because i'm korean. because i'm korean it's very .ashionable those of you who would like to go to hairdressers the most magnificent hairdressing establishment in the -- hotel in beijing. thank you very much. >> ok. all right. now the floor is open. would you respond to eddie's presentation? ideawant to ask about the of a preventive attack. unless of course is pretty -- isnt right now because becoming national security adviser and he has been a pretty consistent advocate of a preventive attack. you have also had reports that one type of preventive attack would be called a bloody nose strike in which one or two sites in north korea would be hit. the idea being that this would jong-un and cause him to back off from proceeding ahead with his icbm program. this is a legitimate proposal and should be debated legitimately. my problem with what i have heard so far and i have seen many interviews about this both on television and on the radio that the questioners never seem calling up what you might the unintende

i think improvement in the north korea china relationship ahead of the into korean summit and u.s. north korea some much more we hope for in solving the problem in the korean peninsula such as denuclearization and establishment of peace there are conflicting reports about who is in control of the northern syrian city of tal afar turkish troops have been closing in on the area after taking the kurdish held enclave of a free ten days ago to his president time birder one has said his forces will continue to move east as far as beach to push out the y.p. g. fighters who he says are terrorists. a french peace officer killed in last week's supermarket see has been posthumously awarded the legion honor the country's highest accolade the talent colonel noble trump has hailed as how the hero after trading places with a female hostage at a supermarket inch rabb in the south of france last friday funerals are being held for some of the victims who died in a shopping center fire in the siberian city of kemah rovio on sunday flags have been flying at half mast across the country on a day of nat

the matter ahead of the north koreans future meetings with both south korea and the u.s. . absolutely right so this is a real diplomatic triumph for president xi jinping he has pulled off a coup on the world stage just weeks after he was cemented his position as china's most powerful leader in more than four decades because it is he and not president donald trump who has become the first world leader to meet kim jong un and remember this was not just kim jong un's first visit to china it was his first visit outside of the country since becoming that country's leader more than six years ago the two leaders talked and that talking is going to continue china is hopeful now that the momentum from this visit will continue. so he was here after all chinese state controlled media waited until kim jong un was back home before confirming what officials had tried so hard to deny just a day earlier in the great hall of the people kim jong un and his wife were welcomed like old friends by president xi jinping a brief greeting in korean was the only time kim's voice was heard. appearanc

i'm korean. and that's where the whole number one korean comes from.t's called "gyopo." meaning "korean who's lived abroad." as things get better and brighter over here, more and more people are, like marc, moving back home for the ever more numerous opportunities. >> marc: when i came here, it just felt right for me. i was like, "i'm here! these are my people!" it's like, "this is what i've been missing!" but i was considered not really korean, i guess, you know? i was considered an outsider in my own country. i had, like, this thing going on because it was like, "okay, am i not korean enough if i don't do this? or if i don't drink this? or if i don't eat this?" but there's a certain sense of, "well i want to learn this." if that makes me feel more korean. >> anthony: nice. best part's skin. is this so hard? walk in and eat delicious food and get hammered in the street? being korean is pretty awesome! >> marc: last one? >> anthony: yeah. >> anthony: nighttime in seoul. and everywhere you go, it seems, food and drink. this is what they call a pojangmac

the korean farmer is the backbone of korea.espite the devastation, the number of moves he had to make with his family which he had to or be killed, farmers were back on their fields even before the fighting was over. these farmers are doing a lot to relieve the burden of feeding the people who live in the city. >> next to feeding the people of seoul, caring for their healthy would say was the next problem. those who were ill, first all were in knock lated. it would be dangerous for epidemic to start under conditions as they were. they were successful, no epidemics broke out in seoul then or thereafter. when i and my staff were sent there, i was terrified. there were patients, there were patients, there were children, men, women. it was a massive humanity suffering. much tuberculosis and surgical cases. as we worked, we trained more doctors and nurses in the methods we needed. mostly, dangerous cases were burn cases from napalm bombs and other bombs and gunshot cases. now, the bomb cases were the first problem. medical supplies

that is the south koreans. they didn't say they had a promise from the north koreans they would reverse. they said they would refrain from future testing. what did we see in the past year or two? development of ballistic missile and missile testing. which says i have the capability. if i'm the north korean i can deliver nukes, why not cement the solutions and say let's talk. if i'm the president i have two questions. what's on ts table? and it sount sound to me like denuke. it sounds like freeze. and number two, what happens if you fail? i didn't hear either one of those. >> and gordon on this issue the words from the south korean adviser where they would refrain. but you saw what happened to clinton, they agreed in 1994 that would be the end, and of course that was broken. in 2005 they said they would end their nuclear programs and allow inspectors bush. then 2006 nuclear test. that was worth a whole lot of nothing. then happened again praum, kim jong-un as leader of north korea reached out, said there would b

parents do not want a north korean education for their children. their wish is for their children to speak the language and learn the culture and live as proud korean people in japan one that's why they send their children here. it's. not south of them they identify. and they sing it yes they school students go on a two week excursion to pyongyang. for most of them it's the first and only time i don't visit north korea. myself and other people here beyond cars we go for holidays. it's unrealistic for us to have these sorts of lifestyles to go back to north korea not. bent over the day we go back to the motherland will be when the real is unified hold on to a prosperous new and free. i go on into a job. amazing up with fifteen year old beyond song to hear what the students think . it's lunch time and they can take is a hive of activity you know when you're tired of. feeling like the new kid at school i try to get to nor beyond some crazy jeff garcia voice or your voice you did a good pace good. i was expecting was going to be very great very regimen

in rare talks between north and south korean officials the south korean envoy says that the north has agreed to hold a summit in late april that would include the leaders of both countries while the announcement led president trungpa to tweet that this could signal quote possible progress south korea's national security director said the north. had offered to cut back on its nuclear weapons program if it were cvs security guarantees the south korean delegation has returned home a day after meeting with north korea's kim jong un in pyongyang it was the first time kim met with south korean officials since taking power. and here is what south korea's top security official had to say a little earlier. the north clearly expressed its willingness for denuclearizing the korean peninsula and clarified that there's no reason for them to retain nuclear weapons if military threats against the murray moved in if the safety of its regime is guaranteed all right let's get more on these extraordinary developments with josh smith he is a word is correspondent in seoul south korea and josh how signifi

that gives the north korean leader and the north koreans some legitimacy.he north koreans have told us for years the next time they meet with the united states they will be coming to the table as a nuclear weapon state and that is the status that they will bring to the table if and when this meeting occurred. that's mistake number one. i would also suggest that the president and his staff have violated what i like to call the rule number one of presidential summit ri, you don't engage the president of the united states in a summit unless the president and his adversary both understand what the summit is going to produce, what the outcome is, and i'd say a third mistake, quite frankly, is that the president is convinced or has been convinced that the north koreans have committed themselves to denuclearization. they've done no such thing and so far there has not been not a single utterance by the north korean leader or the north korean media about denuclearization or any commitment to that. no public reference to that at all. we should be concerned about this

this is literally news live from girl an unprecedented a potentially historic turning point in the korean nuclear standoff president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un agreed to hold the first ever u.s. north korea summit jonghyun offers to put its nuclear program on the negotiating table if the right conditions are met also on the show germany's a social democrats announce who's getting tapos in chance on america's new coalition government came on them a foreign minister who largely untested on the international stage and despite international condemnation president trump moves ahead with tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum he says he's stopping an assault on the us but does he risk triggering a trade war we'll hear more of our business team. way of iraq thanks for your company everyone. world leaders are reacting to the shocking news that u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un will meet for talks chinese president xi jinping called washington to emphasize the need for careful diplomacy u.s. vice president mike pence meanwhile set the talks were a

in a directiong of trying to get north koreans and south koreans to start talking again. host: the president talks about north korea and here is an excerpt. >> obama said it was the biggest problem we had. and south korea went there. we put very strong sanctions and lots of other things we have been doing right from the first day i was in office. and after having gone to north and --seeing kim jong-un no, it is positive. we now have to be very nice because, let's see what happens. the south korean top representatives, they walked out the white house to a throng of these characters. big room. and everybody wanted to find out what happened. and just left north korea north korea is tough. they are doing a lot of things. this should have been handled over the last 30 years. not now. they should have handled this. this should have been handled. and everybody will say it but that is ok. we handle things. host: that was the president, also tweeting over the past few days saying "north korea has not conducted a missile test since november 28, 2017 and has promised not to do so th

by the north koreans by the south koreans there were many many people killed and many many orphans and many maimed so the whole of the war full remains controversial but sickly for north koreans and for south koreans because they've still got family members that are split so it's not fifty three once when the war ended there's been no communication between the two sides so the issues about. alleged germ warfare a part and parcel of the discourse which takes place in north korea this is a controversial topic at the time in the one nine hundred fifty s. remains controversial now there's still no smoking gun evidence this to took place but it forms part of the official discourse it doesn't however form part of the day to day discussions of north koreans i lived and worked in north korea for two years all over the country not so different settings in farms and hospitals and . clinics and. talked to lots and lots of different people it was never raised once as an issue with me not even in passing where some other issues were race of course things like the fact that there were so many men ki

koreans. it's quite possible we'll get at announcement that the u.s. is going to join those talks or have bilateral talks. the big get would be if there was an invitation from kim jong-un directly to president trump inviting him to talks. there's rumors that is what's been on the table. we're waiting to see that. if so, this could be a major breakthrough because while those talks are going on, north korea has apparently agreed to freeze its test program, freeze its nuclear tests, freeze its missile test, not give up the weapons but freeze the development. that would be a major national security achievement for the united states and president trump can rightly take credit for that. you want to stop them before they perfect the missiles that they have that can hit the united states. you want to stop them before they perfect the ability to shrink a nuclear warhead down to a size that can fit on one of those missiles, survive re-entry and hit a u.s. city. >> so you believe what is at stake here, w

this is the interview news live from berlin could this be the beginning of a thaw in the korean nuclear standoff president trump and north korean leader kim jong un have agreed to hold the first ever u.s. north korea summit. offers to put its nuclear program on the table if the right conditions are met. and president trump makes good on a key campaign promise but sparking a trade war the u.s. leader imposes controversial tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum he says he's stopping an assault on the united states. and german foreign ministers like my gabriele is out of a job after a bitter dispute within his party look at the man who's all but certain to replace him how could high go moss shape german foreign policy. i'm brian thomas a very warm welcome to the show is this a breakthrough in the nuclear standoff between north korea and the united states president trump and the north korean leader kim jong un are set to hold the first ever meeting of the two countries leaders on twitter president trump confirmed the plan and said great progress was being made earlier he hinted at a signific

it's not yet clear what the south koreans have said. it's important to point out that they have only said it with the south koreans privately. actions we have zero. until now, the america position is that talk is not enough to get you a meeting with the president. >> the white house and the president almost immediately wanting to take credit for the maximum pressure campaign, suggesting without this maximum pressure campaign which in action is sanctions, this meeting would not be taking place. is that true? >> look, the pressure i think always helps. it is more likely, and a lot of career experts predicted this, that the north koreans have what they want, which is a robust nuclear arsenal with intercontinental ballistic missiles that seem capable of reaching almost any part of the united states. once they got to that point, once they got their insurance policy, they're willing to talk. again, let's be hopeful, let's be optimistic and if president trump is able to denuclearize north korea, it will be a big accomplishment. it's important

between the south koreans and the north koreans as interesting. understatement, perhaps, of the day. >> a leader of the south korean delegation will be making the delegati declaration. he was among those that met with kim jong-un, the north korean leader. jim acosta, thanks very much. there's more breaking news right now involving stormy daniels' legal battle against the president and his lawyer. let's go to our senior investigative correspondent, drew griffin, who is working this part of the story for us. drew, you've been poring over all the doumcument, all the conflicting statements. what have you found? >> reporter: the news comes from that nondisclosure agreement, wolf, that stormy daniels and michael cohen signed. stormy daniels said she told four people about her alleged affair with donald trump. one of them is a woman named angel ryan. angel ryan is a porn actress herself. in october of 2016, she came forward in a news conference and described an unwanted sexual advance by donald trump that she says took place at that very same golf tourna

kimjong—il went north korean leader visits china. leader visits china. kimjong—il went before he died in 2011. the media reports followed this same template. the train went to china, it came back, and only then did official chinese and north korean media start releasing details about the meeting. chad how significant is this meeting between xijinping and kimjong—un before an historic gathering between donald trump and kimjong—un historic gathering between donald trump and kim jong—un this coming may? it is significant for a number of reasons, first of all it is kim jong—un‘s first official leading with any other leader. it is also his first trip overseas since becoming leader of north korea. there is talk he has been very concerned about travel. which might be why he was in this armoured train. and coming so soon ahead of to big summits with president moon and president trump, it suggests this may have been hastily put together to get endorsement from what is, at the end of the day, a country that has a lot of leveraged and influence

>> again, this was the result of the south korean delegation who had met with the north koreans earlier in the week, coming here to give us an update on their conversations and relaying that information and us responding to that. the reason for the south koreans -- i believe that was the end of your question -- addressing is because those were the individuals that had directly spoken with the north koreans. they were the ones that were making that response. >> was it the president's idea to come in here and make that statement? >> yes, absolutely it was the president's idea to come into the briefing room and alert you all of an announcement coming a couple hours later. april? >> going back to peter and jeff, there's a black hole when it comes to intelligence as to what is really happening in north korea. what is going to be put in place specifically to qualify and quantify? what is there? when you talk about denuclearization, what are your denuclearizing? we don't know. what are you going to employ what you already have? what do you plan on doing? >> that will be determined by the natio

first time kim jong un met with south korean officials since taking power. well here is what south korea's top security official had to say. the north clearly expressed its willingness for denuclearizing the korean peninsula and clarify that there's no reason for them to retain nuclear weapons if military threats against them are removed and if the safety of its regime is guaranteed. josh smith is a reuters correspondent in seoul south korea and i asked him how significant a development this is well these were some of the most historic talks in recent memory this is the first time that such senior south korean officials met directly with kim jong un and this signaled that there is some seriousness on both sides you know what hard progress comes out of these talks remains to be seen and many observers will be especially looking closely at what the response out of washington is right we'll talk about that in just a moment josh if north korea follows through on its offer to freeze nuclear testing what are they likely to want in return. that is the big question

engaging with north koreans. i think the way forward for us is going to be challenging vis-À-vis not south korea, but i also think japan. i think abe's interest may be deferred chance in this space politically at home, but also there was a little bit of surprise factor when it came to the japanese in terms of the rollout of the summit and how it was excepted. i think south korea is going to be essential that we are in lockstep. that's going to take a lot of behind the scenes diplomacy and especially with prime minister abe is keeping japan is going to also be very challenging a thing. >> you mentioned you were just talking to some japanese friends and that's obviously another player here that sometimes people are forgetting a little bit and prime minister abe and trump have searched a full speed ahead and they seem to have surprised some folks. how do you think the japanese are reacting and how they plan this going forward? >> i think the japanese are anxious and i think the fulcrum of diplomacy is not involving

the south korean government is pushing hard to use this moment for dialogue. trump administration seems to go back and forth. sometimes appearing to favor a military strike they've taken to calling a bloody nose or some sort of engagement. the olympic window isn't big, but it is still open. at least for now. that's all. don't forget to follow our team on our new twitter page. we're at oarichardengel. we'll be back soon. thanks very much for watching and good night. >>> good

-- denuke larization of the korean -- denuclearization of the korean peninsula. china is enforcing sanctions. although there's a lot of evasion, i think they're doing a lot more than, say, russia in this case. >> thank you so much for joining us and your reaction to all of this. we've also got market rations going on. let's get to the author of "nuclear showdown." he also joins us on the phone. gourde, thanks for joining us. what do you make again of all this? >> i think there are a couple of things at play. first of all, the sanctions are starting to bite kim jong un. he's starting to realize that it's a good time to talk to president trump because things will probably get worse later on. also what's stunning is that president trump agreed to talk and agreed to do so by a certain date. or a certain month. and i think here what's going on, which normally you wouldn't do something like that, such a quick acceptance, i think what president trump is trying to do is to prevent a rift with the south korean president who very much wants these talks to go on. and moon,

this is literally news live from berlin unprecedented a potentially historic turning point in the korean nuclear standoff president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong il and agreed to hold the first ever u.s. north korea summit john yang offers to put its nuclear program on the negotiating table if don't wait conditions are met also on the show not backing down president trump moves ahead with tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum going it alone he says he's stopping an assault on the u.s. in a move that experts warn could trigger a trade war and germany social democrats announce who's getting tapos in chance on america's new coalition government came on them a foreign minister a largely untested on the international stage. thanks very much for your company everyone world leaders have been responding to that surprise move the prospect of a summit between u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un now they could lead to a potential breakthrough in the nuclear standoff with north korea german chancellor angela merkel reacted a short while ago cautiously welc

said it probably doesn't the russian charani east south korean side but the u.s. and japanese are question mark arbib. and i fill the u.s. as we as we're saying those just very high expectations and detroit nation is by people always going to be a multi the face endeavor you know but they have freeze doing you have inspection as you have dissembled them and then you have to do something for scientists that's not going to happen overnight as john bolton wants and it's hard to know where with the trump ministration where the line is between tough talk bluster and real initiative in and sort of thinking in mode today ssion and keeping all of that in mind mr food off what do you think is the best that we can expect out of the progress that we have had the cea. i think the best that we can expect is that negotiations are going to be ongoing negotiations fail of course the ominous alternative is a perhaps preventative strike by the united states which would lead to perhaps all out war so the best that we can hold for especially when this round of summer tree is done let

the other half, korean sources.ehabilitating the industry means more jobs for the city's population. >> with our colleges and universities, seoul is the educational capital of korea. as a people, we koreans put high value on education. rebuilding and expanding the school system is one of our chief aims. >> school buildings for the classes where the schools were bombed, we held outdoor class as not to interrupt the education any more than necessary. in the republic of korea, it is policy that every child goes to school. every child over the age of six is allowed schooling. some parents are prevented from sending their children. in other places there are no scandals. but we are edge caying more childrens every day. >> some children, t the orphanse less fortunate. we have over 200 children at this orphanage alone. the children have been many food without fad or bathing. some die at our hand, other times we get them through all right and it gives us great joy to see them happy again. earlier it was very difficult fortou

and the north koreans.t trump to meet directly with kim jong un. it also will contain a promise by the north koreans not to test anymore and a suggestion that denuclearization is a possibility. that meeting, if it happens, what happen at peace house in the dmz. you may remember back in november, we took you there at the dmz. that is the space in between north and south korea, the house, these glue houses, the place where negotiations would happen if they happen, they are standing in north korea, showing you the table where that will go down. we assume that that is where the president would go if a meeting took place right there in between the two countries in a neutral area. we are back with a panel. jonathan, big news. we will wait to hear the statement at the top of the hour. if it all comes as the president suggests, that's a big moment. >> the meeting would be the big moment. if the parameters of the discussion of what we just heard, we do need to put it in context, which is that this is like groundhog

peninsula, maybe that has focused minds that the north koreans.he north korean playbook here is to create division between the us and south korea, and frankly, south korea and president moon, who has played this very skilfully, in my view, they are really the ones who are taking a leadership role here. but there is the question, has the us become irrelevant? and you know, that could be a good thing. but until we know what north korea's intentions are, that is to say, are they serious or is this tactical, meant to undermine sanctions, undermine the us — south korean relationship, we don't know. but i do think, again, i am always in favour of talking. hold your friends close, your enemies closer. if for only the reason that it reduces the chance that people sort of stumble into war. so again, i welcome that. but i do think we have two... we have to handle this carefully, because the north koreans may... they say they are going to denuclearise, but the question is, under what conditions? what has to happen for them to agree to that? because they have

kathy novak has more from the south korean capital. the south korean government says it welcomes the visit by kim jong un to china and says that it hopes that the meeting between kim and she jinping will help contribute to the overall goal of denuclearization and peace on the korean peninsula the spokesperson for the presidential blue house though added that the situation is evolving beyond their expectations and that they will have to monitor things as they go forward with all possibilities in mind there is an acknowledgement there i think of the surprise that was involved with this visit by kim jong un the first that he has taken as leader out of the country indeed the surprise that many felt when donald trump accepted the invitation to hold a meeting with the leader of north korea kim jong un in fact chinese state media reported that kim said he was willing to have that summit with donald trump and it was the first time that we had a direct confirmation from the north korean side of plans to go forward with that meeting there were i

in two thousand south korean president kim dae joel visited pyongyang to meet north korean leader kim jong il the father of kim jong un . kim de jong received the nobel peace prize for his efforts to promote peace and reconciliation. an architect of his sunshine policy of reconciliation was join me and moon there was a time when north korea and the united states even talked to each other was that possible very simple ok when i would there was a train the circumstances unites to the united states listen to what north koreans would say ok and they didn't deny north korea they treat north korea is a normal count and leadership commitment was another important that and he was a very effective in the communication channels. says things might not be so bad now if the current us administration were willing to negotiate instead the us president derides and threatens kim jong on. rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime those kinds of so-called hostile rhetorics could be very very counter productive and honestly he has been only baiting can do instead has to he stares.
